FREE evening Snake Auction Observer 067: Why aren't there any young Pesces? Tom Wolfe's critique of the Barcelona chair/brutalism; my thoughts on bouclé
You have summarized my personal thoughts on Gaetano Pesce who is (imho) severely underrated. I think part of the problem is because of his sculptural process and materials, he is straddling the line between art and design so much so that he cannot properly get recognized in either industry and his past work had been overshadowed by other "superstar" designers and specific design "moments". He doesn't fit into any particular genre, so it's hard to classify him. Neither industry wants him and nobody really gave him proper recognition, and thus his work is still undervalued (not just financially).
thank you. It's very true. He doesn't entirely have the elevator pitch/repetitiveness that's necessary to move to that next economic stratosphere, so to speak. But the good thing is that he is permanent now. In a decade he'll be even more of a giant. Should buy everything now...
